Chapter 344: Chapter 343: Legend (5th Update! Outburst!)

"Peter, you are the fastest cultivator we’ve ever seen. Remarkable!"

"Your cultivation is very profound, seniors!"

Peter Brown simply put away the jade talisman. He realized that anyone in this room was above his cultivation level. Clearly, these people were much stronger than Adonis Harrison and others. Even with the jade talisman, he couldn’t harm them.

Seeing Peter put away his jade talisman, the four people looked at him with even more goodwill.

"Peter’s ability in formation is too strong!" A chubby middle-aged man smiled at Peter.

"May I know what you seniors need from me?"

"Well, let me introduce everyone first!"

The elderly man leading them started to introduce the four people.

"I am Seth Wilson, the sect leader of the Black Dragon Sect."

He pointed to the middle-aged man who had fought with Peter first, "He has fought with you, his name is Jack Thompson, he is the leader of the Tang Clan."

He then pointed to the middle-aged man who guided Peter here, "Witch Gate sect master, Logan Anderson."

An older man spoke up, "Head of the Mount Tai Faction, Davey Coleman."

Hearing their introductions, Peter looked at these people in surprise, completely unaware of the situation. He had never heard about these factions from Adonis Harrison and his team.

If these people’s cultivation levels weren’t high, Peter wouldn’t care. However, he clearly found that each one of them was far beyond his current level. What exactly was happening?

"Seniors, to be honest, I have contacted other cultivators and factions, but never heard about yours?"

Jack Thompson snorted. "Do they even dare to call themselves cultivators?"

After hearing this, Peter was at a loss for words.

"Peter, even though we are also cultivators, we are different from them."

Peter curiously looked at them. It seemed clear that they didn’t intend to trouble him, so he relaxed and posed himself to listen to their story.

At this time, Seth Wilson said, "Peter, we invited you here to share with you some information about the Earth Cultivation Realm."

"Please do tell, senior." Peter laughed. Bringing him here at midnight just to talk about the cultivation world was somewhat humorous.

Davey Coleman began, "Peter, today we clearly felt the spiritual energy fluctuations from your place. So we checked it out, never expecting your formation skill to be so advanced. Directly utilizing electric power for a formation, that is quite remarkable!"

"We carefully studied your formation, it’s truly extraordinary. Your knowledge in formation far surpasses many."

"So you’ve been following me all the time?" Peter was also somewhat astonished now.

Seth Wilson smiled, "Although we are different from ordinary cultivators, we pay close attention to everything happening on Earth. We’ve been watching ever since you appeared. We know all your actions, even followed you to the Eastern Kingdom."

Peter was shocked, never realizing that there were such powerful people following him, unbeknownst to him.

"You guys have been investigating me?"

Jack Thompson replied, "Yes, after fighting with you, we investigated your situation as well. Your cultivation progress is beyond our reach. Resources on Earth are limited and our inheritance is almost cut off, making it very difficult for us to upgrade. Even finding a place with spiritual energy is equally challenging."

Logan Anderson continued, "Your rapid cultivation intrigued us, but after observing for a while, we learned that your upgrade was a fortuitous coincidence. There was nothing too special about it. As cultivators, we believe in destiny. Your great destiny is your business, which doesn’t concern us. What attracted us was your skill in formation."

"Formation skill?"

"Yes, even though you use jade talismans to set up formations, which also have unique characteristics, that’s not what we want. We focused on you because we noticed your wine-making setup in Flower Creek Village. You had incorporated formations into machinery. We’ve been observing you ever since."

"That’s just something I casually made. It’s only useful for those below the Foundation Establishment stage. If one’s skill is higher, it’s not particularly helpful."

"That’s good enough. There are only Foundation Establishment cultivators on Earth now. Your covert inscription of formations on mechanical devices was also impressive. Today, you set up a Spiritual Gathering Array, using electric power as the energy source. That’s even more incredible. That’s why we wanted to meet you."

"So you’ve set your sights on me, huh?"

Seth Wilson replied: "Indeed, we want to utilize your knowledge of formation for a certain matter. Of course, we will tell you the whole story."

Davey Coleman sighed: "You might think that what we’re about to tell you is a joke, or utter nonsense. But regardless of your thoughts, as cultivators, we need to explain everything to you for us to get your assistance."

"Please continue, I am eager to hear what you have to say." Upon noticing that they held no ill intentions towards him and only wanted to borrow his abilities, Peter Brown finally relaxed.

Since becoming a cultivator, Peter had interacted with the likes of Adonis Harrison and other Cultivation Clans, learning many things from them. Now, these four individuals with such high cultivation levels were about to divulge information about the cultivation world. Naturally, Peter was curious to learn more.

"Friend Peter, what are your thoughts on the cultivation realm on Earth?" Seth Wilson suddenly asked.

Shaking his head, Peter replied: "This is rather puzzling. People say that Earth lacks spiritual energy, however, it’s not completely devoid of it. It’s just that the energy is more dispersed. They also say that there are no cultivators on Earth, but there are clearly cultivators appearing one after another. It’s undeniable. After all, I am a cultivator!"

Thinking about the increasing number of cultivators around him, Peter sometimes found it amusing. He used to never see another cultivator around, but now, they seem to be everywhere. Whatever he does, there seems to be a cultivator involved.

"Indeed, your understanding is good. This makes explaining easier for us. Actually, it wasn’t like this on Earth in the past. There were many legends, such as Pangu Creating the Heavens, Great Yu Controlling the Waters, and Gong Labourers angrily striking Mount Buzhou..."

At this point, Davey Coleman heaved a long sigh.

Peter looked at them in astonishment, not expecting the conversation to evolve into discussing ancient times. He wondered what had happened on Earth.

Seth continued: "Most people would consider these as mere legends. However, only we cultivators know that they were real events that happened on Earth. Not only did these stories occur, there was also a more expansive cultivation world on Earth. However, time has erased all traces of these things."

Peter asked: "These aren’t just legends?"

"Correct, most of these stories are actually true. However, due to the passage of time and an inability to explain them, they have been transformed into legends."

Jack Thompson chuckled bitterly: "There’s so much we don’t know. For example, did you know there are cities on Venus? Or even on Mars? In fact, many planets in this universe were once home to civilizations, but those have long perished."

Peter stared wide-eyed at them, realizing that these four were mentally sound individuals - not lunatics.

Logan Anderson explained: "Our Wizard Gate has an ancient inheritance, passed down from Emperor Shun. Witchcraft has become more and more dispersed during its transmission, resulting in the creation of various Sects. However, the most orthodox practitioner of it is the Wizard Gate. If you see any other witchcraft factions, they are probably minor ones."

Peter looked at them and asked: "I presume all of your Sects are inheritances from ancient times?"

Seth heaved a sigh and responded: "There’s no need to go into that. I’ll tell you a bit about the situation with Earth’s cultivation world, to give you a clearer understanding. Actually, ancient Earth was a link to the cultivation world. There was a pathway to the heavens, which means people on Earth could directly enter the cultivation world."

"The Hollow Earth Theory is not entirely wrong. In ancient times, Earth was the center of the universe. Because of this pathway to the heavens, cultivators from various planets had to pass through Earth to enter the cultivation world."

Peter exclaimed in surprise: "So it’s not a direct pathway to the Heavenly Court?"

"It’s not that easy to become an Immortal. People often mistake the cultivation world for the Heavenly Realm, which is incorrect. Even so, being able to enter the cultivation world indicates a potential to achieve immortality, and that itself is quite an extraordinary achievement."

"To ordinary people, cultivators are seen as godlike beings due to their abilities to ascend to the heavens and descend to the Earth. In reality, they are just cultivators and not real Immortals!"

Peter nodded and said: "If that’s the case, a lot of things start to make sense."

"Yes, many seemingly mythical events actually occurred."

"If that’s true, the ’Jingwei Filling the Sea’, ’Kunpeng’s Transformation’, ’Dragon Lord Fishing for the Giant Turtle’, ’Shennong Testing Herbs’, ’The Palace of the Sea Dragon King’, ’Houyi Shooting the Sun’, ’Houyi Shooting River Lord’, and so on... Wouldn’t Jingwei, Kunpeng, and the like in these stories be some sort of Spirit Beasts?" Peter inquired, visibly intrigued by these revelations.

"Impressive, Friend Peter, you are certainly quick to understand. Yes, Earth at that time was filled with numerous Spirit Beasts. These legends feature only a few representative ones. They were some of the most formidable Spirit Beasts on Earth at that time, when cultivators were commonplace, and Spirit Beasts posed a significant threat to humans. Of course, cultivators were far superior and suppressed the Spirit Beasts. There were even more powerful members of the Demon Clan. In that period, there was constant conflict between the two sides, causing chaos in the Divine Continent. This led to the story of Great Yu Controlling the Waters."

Peter asked in confusion: "If that’s the case, why did the cultivators suddenly disappear from Earth? Also, why has the spiritual energy on Earth become so scarce?" This was something many people couldn’t understand; it seemed as if the cultivation inheritance on Earth had suddenly been severed.

"That’s exactly what we wanted to discuss." Seth Wilson gave a deep sigh.

Everyone present seemed deep in thought.

Peter’s mind was in a whirl at this point. He didn’t quite understand the situation and could only stare at the four men. It seemed that despite their appearances varying from elderly to middle-aged, they had all lived for an exceptionally long time.

Hopefully, he could learn more about the unknown from them.
